Sam 'Mshengu'
Chabalala is believed to have fled South Africa back to Zimbabwe in an attempt
to avoid numerous charges.
The
multimillionaire is facing a long list of charges including corruption, illegal
possession of a firearm and ammunition, illegal entry, remaining within SA and
providing fake information to be granted entry in the first place.
The Sam
Holdings boss disappeared in March after failing to appear in court for one of
the cases against him.
Now, Sowetan
reports that Chabalala's empire is being auctioned off to the highest bidder
this week with Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi confirming to the publication that
Mshengu's real identity will also be 'flagged by Interpol'
Mulaudzi said
that Chabalala's true identity, once confirmed, will be circulated throughout
Zimbabwe and beyond as authorities continue their manhunt.
In addition to
Scania trucks branded Sam Holdings and two bakkies, properties in Bethal,
Mpumalanga will also be auctioned off. The publication revealed that Chabalala
had owed over R60 000 in rates and taxes on the properties.
In addition to
the auction, Sam Holdings is in the process of deregistration from the register
of companies.
The company is
believed to have ceased operations in April despite Lerato Legodi, Chabalala's
wife, promising that this will be temporary.
Employees claim
they never received payment for outstanding salaries with Legodi ignoring calls
to clarify the situation.
